PNB Chapter 440 Misfortune
Chapter 440 Misfortune
"No!" As the snow pounded heavily against the mountainside once more, a muffled thud resounded, and the snow on the entire mountain surged down like a burst dam, instantly engulfing everything in a white wave.
Because Bai and Xue were standing near the cave entrance, when Bai was the first to realize that the snow mountain was about to collapse, he took a big step forward without hesitation, grabbed the female Xue beside him with lightning speed, and forcefully dragged her out.
However, what is heartbreaking is that their young orc cubs are still inside the cave.
"No, my baby! Bai, let me go! Xiao is still inside!" Xue screamed desperately, trying to break free from Bai's grasp, and turned to rush towards the cave that had been buried by snow.
Her heart felt as if it had been torn in two, one side filled with worry for her young child's safety, and the other side held Bai's hand tightly.
But Bai knew he couldn't let Xue act impulsively at this moment, so he held Xue tightly and pulled her away with all his might.
Although he was equally anxious, he knew that they needed to remain calm and not let their emotions control them.
After all, the cubs were trapped in the cave, and if they couldn't quickly come up with a way to rescue them, the consequences would be dire.
"Enough, Xue! Stop it!" Bai had never yelled at Xue so sternly before.
It's important to understand that for orcs, once they've chosen a partner, it means they'll dedicate their entire lives to protecting, accompanying, and caring for them. They absolutely cannot tolerate even the slightest disobedience or harsh words.
But at this moment, the situation was extremely critical, and Bai had no choice but to temporarily put aside his usual gentleness and consideration and use this method to stop Xue's almost crazy behavior.
Upon hearing Bai's words, Xue froze on the spot. She stared at Bai in disbelief; her cubs were trapped in the cave, and her male was shouting at her without regard for their safety.
Bai looked at Xue with some distress and said, "I know you were desperate to save Zai Zai, but this avalanche was entirely your fault. If you hadn't recklessly crashed into the mountainside, how could the snow mountain have collapsed? How could Zai Zai have been buried?"
After hearing Bai's words, Xue's eyes filled with tears of regret, and her body gradually stopped struggling. Seeing this, Bai's tone softened: "We can't panic now, we have to find a way to save the baby." Xue nodded, choking back tears.
Bai began to carefully observe the surrounding environment and discovered a spot with thinner snow cover where a passage leading to the cave might be possible to dig.
So he quickly transformed into his strong beast form and used his claws to dig through the snow. Snow also came to its senses and started digging along with White.
Just as they were digging until they were exhausted, they faintly heard the weak cries of the cubs. The sound seemed to give them boundless energy, and they quickened their digging pace.
Finally, they saw the cub curled up. Xue rushed over to check if the cub was injured; thankfully, it was just a little frightened and otherwise unharmed.
Bai breathed a sigh of relief and gently comforted Xue, saying, "Don't act rashly in the future. We all care about the child, but we must also be rational in dealing with danger. The most important thing now is how to rescue the child, not blindly crashing into the mountainside."
Xue Bao looked at the cub sobbing uncontrollably and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would never act so impulsively again.
"Then... how will the cub get out?" Now that the two of them have dug open the cave, the cub won't be suffocating from being buried in the snow.
However, he was trapped in his beast form and completely unable to move. Moreover, the fur beneath him was soaked, and if he wasn't rescued soon, the cubs would be in mortal danger.
Bai looked at the trapped cubs and the grieving female and couldn't help but anxiously think of a solution. Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly remembered what Sen from the Eastern tribe had said.
Sen said that if they encounter any places that need help, their tribe will help them!
Thinking of this, Bai felt a surge of joy.
"Xue, you stay here and look after Xiao. I'm going to the Eastern Tribe for help. That powerful orc will help us!" Bai said excitedly, looking at the female and the cub.
Xiao looked at its male father and spoke weakly. Xue looked at the cub and then at Bai, and said, "Then you should hurry up and ask for help. That beastman is very powerful. He should be able to save the cub."
Although the Snow Beast clan is not the strongest, due to their innate advantages, they are still quite formidable among the orcs, especially in winter when it is advantageous to them.
But the orc easily injured them, which shows that his strength is unfathomable.
With the help of those orcs, their cubs will surely be saved!
So Bai calmed the female and cubs down and then sped off towards the valley where the eastern tribes were located. He had to hurry, otherwise, it would be very dangerous for the lone female and cubs to be alone in the wild.
Unbeknownst to Ruan Mianmian and the others, the orcs seeking help were about to arrive, and they would be busy again!
